The Taming

by Lauren Gunderson

directed by Mel Day

“We represent the triumvirate of the grand and fearful dumbing of America, but we can also beat it.”

A disturbingly patriotic beauty pageant contender kidnaps an ultra-conservative Senator’s aide and an ultra-liberal blogger, imprisons them in a hotel room, and demands that they rewrite the Constitution. Then the Founding Fathers show up, and things get really trippy. A ferocious comedy about America’s deep political divides, present and past.
